VISOR.

Application filed October 28, 1924. Serial No. 746,333.-

To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that we, ALVIN- C. SLAUGH- TER and GEORGE DUNronD, citizens of the United States, residing at Oklahoma City, in the county of Oklahoma and State of Oklahoma, have invented a certain new and useful Invention in Visors, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to an especially scientifically constructed and arranged eyeshade or visor, the construction and arrangement involving the clearing of the device of the usual and well known object-ions made to these matters.

It is an object of the invention to properly dispose and project a visor from the forehead, just above the eyes; to provide a fore-head band integral with or associated with the same and to provide in that band a dual-ventilating system, and to associate, in combination with these features a headband or strap system co-operative with the aforesaid features for the purpose of properly positioning and holding the device about and to the head, which is an essential when vision, and protection ofvision are combinedly considered.

Other objects of the invention will be better understood by a careful reading of the following specification, drawing, and the appended claims. 7

On thesheet of drawings, accompanying and forming a part of the said specification, Figure 1 represents a visor, in section, and partly broken away to show details of construction,

Figure 2 is a detail fragment showing a means upon the upper edge of the forehead band for ventilation; 1

Figure 8 is a detail fragment of perforation for roll either of Figure 1 or 4, and

Figure 4 is a view in section showing a means of manufacture, where the band and the visor are in two parts and assembled.

In these views, similar characters of reference indicate similar parts.

The devices of Figures 1 and 2 are similar except for the formation at the top of the fore-head band, and consist of a forehead band 5, integral with which and proceeding therefrom at 6 is an eye shade or visor 7 the rear of the roll 6 constituting a forehead seat or base to take the natural curvature of the line, of the forehead. The

band 5, as will be seen from the diagrammatization in Figure l is at an angular relation to the perpendicular of the head straps 8 and 9 respectively, so that when these straps are in proper place upon the head, the strap 9 taking a substantially horizontal position, and the strap 8 taking a substantially vertical position, the band- 5 will flare from the fore-head, leaving a cooling space between it and the forehead, and the rolled edge 10 of the band will form a circulating channel for cooling the radiation coming from the forehead.

In Figure 3, if desired,'this roll 10 may be perforated, as at 11, for the purpose of additional ventilation of the roll, as well as the ventilation out from the ends of the roll f at each side of the fore-head band.

Referring again to Figure 1, near the extremities of the fore-head band 5 are openings through which are passed large tubular rivets 13 for the purpose of movablv securing the head bands 8 and 9 to the for e head band 5, and for permittingmovement of the parts adjustable to the natural movement ofthe head, as well as permitting the necessary adjustment of the bands to the shape of the head, and allowing the fore head band 5 to maintain its flaring position from the forehead, as aforementioned Referring to Figure 2, in lieu of the roll' 10 at the upper edge of the fore-head band I 5, the formation is as at 14 where the upper edge of the band 5 is simply corrugated.

It will now be seen that there is provided a device as substantially set forth, including in combination independently and relatively movable head bands swiveled to a fore: head band, which in position flares from the forehead, for ventilatingpurposes, the up- ,per end or edge of which band is provided with a sub-ventilating roll or formation to take the radiation from the forehead and deliver it sidewise of the fore-head band and dissipate the same.

It will further be noticed that the bottom rolled turn from the visor to the upstanding band is the only part that touches the fore head surface, and this being at a single point or line in that curvature, renders the device of easy use and ready ventilation making theheat-point of contact with the head practically nil. V v 7 It is, of course, to be understood that both of the head bands 8 and 9 respectively, will be adjustable for size, aside from their rela means passing through the bands at the tivity'of adjustment, and for this purpose ends of'all of said bands.

buckles 1 5 and 16 are provided. '2. In combination With the structure' set Having thus described this invention, We up in -claim 1, a formation about the upclaim: q per-edge of the forehead band for aiding 1. An eyeshade including a visor having in the dissipation ofheat from said band.
